Seeing Zhou Xian's arm injured, Niu Yong asked with a worried look on his face: "Brother Zhou, the Tartars are rude, you are suffering. This injury is nothing serious!"

Zhou Xian raised his hand and chuckled, "It's nothing big."

Niu Yong nodded, looked at Wang Weidong, and asked with an infinitely solemn expression: "Wang Baihu, is that person sure that he is the gang himself? He is the second-ranked second in Mongolia after the Khan. Why do you go here for nothing?"

Wang Weidong said: "There will be no false. Although I have never seen the siege himself, the Golden Wolf Khan Banner is real. Moreover, he took the initiative to offer the Mahagala Golden Buddha, one of the three sacred objects of Mongolia, to my Emperor Ming Dynasty. This courage and power are not something that ordinary people can have?"

"What thing, what Buddha?"

Wang Weidong patiently explained: "Mahagala Golden Buddha, he was the master of the Yuan Dynasty, the national teacher of Kublai Khan, who collected a thousand kilograms of gold and designed and cast them himself. It weighed 64 kilograms and two kilograms, commonly known as the Thousand kilograms of gold. Lin Danhan called it the three major national treasures of Mongolia, together with the imperial seal and the gold "Ganzhuer".

Niu Yong smiled and said, "How much is it worth a thousand taels of golden Buddha!"

Wang Weidong smiled bitterly and said, "Niu Qianhu, this thing cannot be measured by simple money. The Mongolians believe in Tibetan Buddhism, and this golden Buddha represents their belief and authority. Once they have it, to put it nicely, it is equivalent to having a powerful tool to conquer the hearts of the Mongolian people. Not to mention a thousand taels of gold, even tens of taels of gold or hundreds of thousands of taels, it cannot be compared with this golden Buddha."

Niu Yong looked shocked, and asked with infinite curiosity: "Since it is so important, how could the sacking map be presented to Your Majesty so easily? And have you seen that golden Buddha?"

Wang Weidong nodded, sighed silently, without saying a word.

Niu Yong looked at Wang Weidong, then looked at Zhou Xian, and asked Qi, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Xian smiled bitterly and sighed: "The siege is to use this golden Buddha to exchange for the lives of our five hundred brothers, and we are not allowed to refuse."

Seeing Zhou Xian’s serious statement, Niu Yong changed his face suddenly: “What’s going on? Tell me carefully.”

Zhou Xian frowned and said, "Dorgon led more than 10,000 people to secretly cross the Yellow River. Under the leadership of the scout, he took advantage of the situation to surround the military camp where the new Mongol Khan Ezhe was located. After weighing the pros and cons, Empress Dowager Su Tai held the jade seal and surrendered to Dorgon with his young son Ezhe. At that time, the Mongolian tribe who was seeking support for Ezhe in the north of the Mohe, and returned urgently after receiving the news. He attacked Dorgon's troops many times, trying to grab Ezhe. However, Dorgon's defense was tight, and at first, there were only nearly a hundred iron armored guards left after thousands of soldiers who followed him, and he was also injured."

Zhou Xian paused for a moment and continued, "He knew that he would definitely not be able to do anything by relying on the nearly 100 soldiers under his command, so he came here early. This is the only way for Dorgon to return and his last chance to regain Ezhe. The people who surrounded us outside were the newly recruited Mongolians he recruited. But these people were not very loyal and had to tempt them with great benefits. This is why they sent troops to plunder us."

Niu Yong was silent for a while and said, "I want us to help him grab Ezhe?"

Zhou Xian shook his head and said, "This time it's not Ezhe, but Abunai, the youngest son of Lin Dan Khan. Ezhe is currently the Mongolian Khan, which is of course his first choice. But at present, Ezhe is personally escorted back by Dorgon. He knew that his chances of success were not high, so he placed his hope on Abunai, who had a small number of guards. Abunai is Lin Dan Khan's second son. According to the early Mongolian tradition of guarding the stove, he also has the right to inherit the legacy of Lin Dan Khan. If he could be robbed out, even if the Manhu could control Ezhe, his role would be greatly reduced."

Niu Yong pondered for a while and asked, "Where is this Abnay now?"

Zhou Xian said: "According to what Zitu Taiji said, he is currently escorted by Sahalian, the grandson of Nurhaci and the third son of Daishan, the pseudo-ritual prince Daishan, and will arrive here in about three days."

Niu Yong smiled and said, "It turned out to be this grandson, but he is an old opponent of our Xuanfu. Sahalian is brave and resourceful and was named Beile. He and his father and brother are extremely loyal to Huang Taiji. The reason why the latter was able to ascend to the throne of Khan was that they had made a lot of efforts at that time. But why did he not go with Dorgon this time? That would obviously be safer."

Zhou Xian smiled and said, "I was very curious about this at that time, so I asked about Gangtu Taiji. According to his statement, Lin Dan Khan's great concubine, namely Abnay's biological mother Namu Zhong and Ezhe Khan's biological mother Empress Dowager Su Tai, have always been in disagreement. Although Ezhe ascended the Khan throne, Namu Zhong led 3,000 households to separate independently and refused to admit it. Although both of them surrendered to the Manchus, the conflict between them has not been eliminated. In addition, they basically surrendered without resistance and retained a certain degree of strength. In order to avoid affecting the overall situation of the Later Jin Dynasty surrendering to Mongolia because of the conflict between them, Dorgon asked Sahalian to lead 3,000 soldiers to escort Namu Zhong and Abnay first, and he personally escort Ezhe and Empress Dowager Su Tai later. As long as the two did not meet, there would naturally be no conflicts."

Niu Yong laughed and said, "Woman! You can't help but be jealous at any time. This has surrendered to others. You can't even grasp your own destiny. You still make such jokes."

Wang Weidong interrupted, "This is also a blame for Lin Dan Khan. He never centralized power. The eight concubines under the tent all had a certain force. When they were peaceful, they fought endlessly; when they were about to fight, they all sought to protect themselves. It is said that Lin Dan Khan had 400,000 soldiers under his tent, but in fact, it was a miracle that he had gathered more than 30,000 troops in a short period of time. This is probably the reason why he was defeated repeatedly in the battle with the Manchus and died in vain in Qinghai."

Niu Yong nodded and agreed. But at the same time, he asked with infinite curiosity: "Brother Zhou, Wang Baihu, no matter what he wants to do in the box, it is a matter between him and the Manlu, what has anything to do with us? Why did you just say that he wanted to exchange the lives of the five hundred soldiers of my country? And we cannot refuse?"

Zhou Xian smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Niu, let me ask you. This golden Buddha is so important. If His Majesty the Emperor heard the picture of the siege, he would be willing to present this golden Buddha to him. How would he react?"

"That's all right, I must be overjoyed."

"What if he lost this golden Buddha in a blink of an eye! And the reason why it lost is our inaction, how would he react?"
